Friends of tourists:
Hello everyone! Welcome to visit our Three Gorges. My surname is Zhang, and I am a tour guide of Wuhan International Travel Service. You can call me Xiao Zhang or Zhang Dao. On the way, if you have any questions or suggestions, you can put them forward as far as possible, and I will try my best to satisfy you under reasonable and possible circumstances. Then, I hope everyone can have a good time on this trip!
before we arrive at the scenic spot, I'd like to give you a brief introduction of the Three Gorges.
The Three Gorges of the Yangtze River is one of the top ten scenic spots in China and the top 4 tourist attractions in China. She starts from Baidicheng in Fengjie, Chongqing, and ends in Nanjinguan, Yichang City, Hubei Province. With a total length of 193 kilometers, it is one of the largest canyons in the world. It is called the Three Gorges because it is composed of three famous canyons, namely Qutang Gorge, Wuxia Gorge and Xiling Gorge. And they are known as "majestic, beautiful and steep" respectively.
The scenery of the Three Gorges is very beautiful, and its human landscape and regional history and culture add a lot to her. Li Bai, a great romantic poet in the Tang Dynasty, visited the Three Gorges three times, and left behind the famous poem "Chaofa Baidicheng". The Three Gorges is not only the cradle of Chu culture, but also the birthplace of Ba culture. After a long period of blending, these two cultures have already formed a unique Ba Chu culture. The dragon boat race on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month every year is a kind of sacrificial activity carried out by the people of Chu township to show their respect for Qu Yuan. In addition, Badong's basket world and Tujia people's unique marriage customs are also unique in national characteristics. In addition to its long history and culture, the Three Gorges area is also rich in folk art, such as flower drums and storytelling. The artistic charm of folk arts and crafts in the Three Gorges is mainly reflected in clothing, jewelry, sculpture, architecture, etc. The most local characteristics of architectural art are the "hanging foot building" and the "backwater returning to the pool" patio house.
What about the next journey? We will feel the extraordinary charm of the Three Gorges one by one.
Look, tourists and friends, what we see now is Qutang Gorge, the first gorge of the Three Gorges. Qutang Gorge starts from Baidicheng in the west and reaches Daxi Town in the east. This is the entrance to the canyon, where you can see the cliff facing each other across the river, forming a gate made in heaven, which is Kuimen. Kuimen has been known as "the hero of the world" since ancient times. After crossing Kuimen, we entered Qutang Gorge. Although Qutangxia is only 8 kilometers short, there are many scenic spots on both sides of the strait. Like, wind box gorge, stone plank road and so on. The place where we are now is Fengboxia. Please look at the yellow-brown cliff in front of you. There is a crack on it. There are several things like bellows on the crack, hence the name Fengxiangxia. So what exactly are those things that look like bellows? It turned out to be an ancient coffin. According to research, those hanging coffins have a history of more than two thousand years. How the ancients hung such a heavy coffin on the cliff is still a mystery.
After a short visit to Qutang Gorge, we have now arrived at Wuxia Gorge. Wuxia straddles Chongqing and Hubei. It stretches from Daning estuary in Wushan County, Chongqing to Guandukou in Badong County, Hubei Province. With a total length of 45 kilometers, it is the most complete gorge in the Three Gorges, so it is also called the "Great Gorge". The peaks on both sides of Wuxia Gorge are 12 peaks. And the most beautiful one is goddess peak. Dear friends, now we are at the foot of goddess peak. Please look up, there is a humanoid stone pillar beside the peak of the mountains. Do you think it looks like a graceful girl looking down at the Yangtze River affectionately? And there is also a touching legend about her origin. A long time ago, a fisherman went out of the river to catch a big fish. Unfortunately, he was caught in a rainstorm, and eventually his boat was wrecked. And his wife will come to the peak every day to watch, looking forward to her husband's return, but after many years, her husband has never come back, and her wife has been waiting there until today. This touching story has been widely celebrated for thousands of years, and goddess peak has therefore become a beautiful symbol of the husband and wife's happiness and sorrow, and their dependence on life and death. Now, our ship has sailed out of Wuxia Gorge. Do you feel that the river has suddenly widened a lot? The hills and ravines in front are the famous Xiangxi wide valley. This is the hometown of ancient beauty Wang Zhaojun. According to legend, Zhao Jun went back to her hometown to visit relatives before leaving the fortress. When the boat passed by Xiangxi, she wanted to wash her face in Xiangxi, but she accidentally lost the necklace around her neck and scattered jewels in Xiangxi. Since then, the brook has become crystal clear and fragrant. People call this stream "Xiangxi". In addition to Zhaojun, Qu Yuan, the first great patriotic poet in China, was born here. Now there is another "celebrity" here, that is, Shennongjia savage who once caused a sensation in the world.
Time flies. We are now at Xiling Gorge, the last gorge of the Three Gorges. Xiling Gorge starts from Xiangxikou in the west and ends at Nanjinguan in the east, with a total length of 76 kilometers. It is named after Xiling Mountain in Yichang City. Xiling Gorge is the best of the three. First of all, she is the longest gorge in No.3 Middle School. From top to bottom, * * * is divided into four sections; Xiangxi wide valley, the upper part of Xiling Gorge, the south part of Miao wide valley, and the lower part of Xiling Gorge. Secondly, she is a gorge with the most beautiful natural scenery. Ouyang Xiu, a famous political writer in the Northern Song Dynasty, left a famous sentence of "Xiling Mountain is the best in the world". Finally, she is the most dangerous place in the Three Gorges. In the past, accidents of hitting rocks and sinking ships in this area emerged one after another. There is a "White Bone Pagoda" on the north bank of Qingtan, which is named after the bones of the dead boatmen. Of course, the Xiling Gorge is not what it used to be after politics. The main landscapes of Xiling Gorge are: Sword Gorge, Ox-liver-horse-lung Gorge, Kongling Gorge and Dengying Gorge. This is the famous "Four Gorges of Xiling". But today I mainly introduce the Dengying Gorge in Xiling Gorge. Dengying Gorge is named after shape framing. There are four stone heads on the mountain, which are very similar to the vivid images of Tang Priest, Master and Apprentice in The Journey to the West. And whenever the sunset comes, they are just like the characters in the shadow play, which is very interesting from a distance in the gorge. So this gorge is called Dengying Gorge.
Good times are always short, and our journey will soon be over. A trip to the Three Gorges is like a trip to life. It will always be flat after twists and turns. So here, I am very grateful for your support and cooperation in my work, and hope to meet you again by chance! I wish you all the best, goodbye!
Dragon Frame Tour Guide:
Hello, friends and welcome to the Dragon Frame Forest Region. I am your tour guide. You can call me * *. Please feel free to ask if you have any needs or requirements during the trip, and I will try my best to help you solve them. At the same time, I wish you all a pleasant trip.
let me give you a brief introduction of Shenlongjia forest area before arriving at the scenic spot. Shennongjia originally only refers to a mountain peak, that is, today's Shennongjia, and now it refers to the entire Shennongjia forest area. Shenlongjia forest area is also the only administrative region named after the forest area in China. Shennongjia also has a very magnificent title "Roof of Central China", which is because Shennongding, the highest peak in Shennongjia, is as high as 315.4 meters above sea level, which is the first peak in Central China, so it has this title. I think everyone is coming for the mystery of the Dragon Rack. Indeed, there are many mysteries about the Dragon Rack, such as the legend of Emperor Shennong and the fan of savage, and it is located in the inland but has a well-preserved virgin forest, and there are many rare animals such as golden monkey, giant salamander and albino animals, as well as the mysterious Buddha's light and sacred scenery, all of which are fascinating and quick to see. I think everyone can't wait, so I won't say much. Let's go in and have a look.
This is the most distinctive Shenlongding scenic spot in the Shenlongding, with the highest elevation of 315.4m, which is called "the first peak in Central China". The strangest thing is that there are all kinds of rare animals and plants in it, most of which are listed as national key protected objects. As long as you look around, you will know that it really lives up to its reputation, and there are treasures everywhere. The complete forest ecosystem of Shenlongding Scenic Area is of great practical significance to the renovation of the ecological environment balance in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River and the whole Central China, and it has become a natural barrier in Central China, with the reputation of "green treasure house", "plant gene bank", "natural zoo", "hundred herbs garden" and "refuge for endangered animals and plants". We are now at the first stop of Shenlongding Scenic Area-Dalongtan. This is the base camp of Shennongjia savage investigation; At the same time, it is also an important observation point for the living habits of golden monkeys. Therefore, this is the place where savage and golden monkey come and go most frequently. Once, there were wild examiners who witnessed savage coming and going here. Hehe, now I wonder if we are lucky enough to see our long-awaited savage. Then we arrived at Xiaolongtan, which is opposite to Dalongtan. There is a wildlife rescue station here. There is a field test exhibition room in the station, which reflects the main achievements of the country's two visits to Shennongjia savage. There are also savage distribution maps, eyewitness photos, savage hair, feces, bamboo nests obtained on the spot, savage footprints irrigated on the spot, and analysis and appraisal materials of Chinese Academy of Sciences and other units, which all confirm that the existence of savage in Shennongjia cannot be ignored. There are also photo exhibitions of various animals and plants in the station, but the most powerful lineup is Shennongjia golden monkey group photos, which are all taken on the spot, ranging from monkey king and monkeys to whistle monkeys; From migration, foraging to nap; From mother-child play to husband-and-wife sex, everything is available, which is simply the album of Golden Monkey. Interested friends can take a closer look. If you are tired of playing, you can go to the teahouse in Xiaolongtan to have a cup of tea and eat special snacks in the Dragon Shelf.
Now, we come to Shennong Altar, the core part of Shennongjia Scenic Area, which is a place dedicated to the descendants of the Yellow Emperor to remember their ancestors and pray for the blessing of the gods. Look at the statue of Shennong above, which is tall and majestic, with a head of 21 meters, symbolizing the prosperity of the Chinese nation in the 21st century, with a width of 35 meters and a height of just 56 meters, which means the great unity of 56 ethnic groups. The two horns on its head are said to be the heads of cattle, but in fact they are the totems of ancient farming tribes. The lawn in the middle and the steps on both sides are also arranged according to the pattern of the imperial palace in the past. Do you find that this is very similar to the shape of the Golden Throne in some ancient costume TV dramas, with the middle being walked by the son of heaven and the left and right being the channels for ministers? Because 9 was the first positive number in ancient times, the steps on both sides are all multiples of 9, and there are 243 steps on each side, which are 9 steps, 72 steps, 63 steps, 54 steps and 45 steps from bottom to top. At the bottom of the steps is the altar, which is equipped with Jiuding Bagui and incense burners. Incense is constantly burning here all the year round, and every Chinese can worship and pray here. Shennongjia usually holds a grand public sacrifice ceremony for Emperor Yan Shennong around the Double Ninth Festival. After the ancestor worship ceremony, large-scale sacrifice songs and dances such as Guanghua Qianqiu are performed in the square. It is said that since the completion of Shennong altar, nectar has fallen from the sky in the middle of each sacrifice, which is very effective. If you had visited at that time, you might have seen this spectacle.
Walk 3 kilometers from the entrance of Shennongding, and we can come to the entrance of the scenic mountain, which is known as the "first scene of Shennongjia". Then go up the stone steps and pass through an arrow bamboo forest, and you can reach the scenic pass. The scenic spot is 2785 meters above sea level. Due to the deep dislocation of strata, the southern slope of the scenic spot is cut into canyons as deep as 1, meters. The carbonate rocks distributed on the southern slope of the scenic spot are the most vulnerable to weathering and dissolution. After years of wind erosion, today's stone forest wonders are sculpted. There are pines, cypresses and bright red azaleas all around the Stone Forest, which is called "Stone Forest with Clouds and Rain". The scenery here is so charming that everyone can savor it and take photos here as a souvenir.
Good times are always so short. Our trip to Dragon Rack is coming to an end. Thank you for your support and cooperation. I hope you will have a pleasant trip again and look forward to cooperating with you again.
Wudang Mountain Tour Guide:
Ladies and gentlemen, on behalf of overseas travel agencies, I would like to welcome you. My name is xx, as people often say, meeting is fate. I feel very honored to meet you and spend this wonderful time with you. This is our driver, Master Wang. The two of us will serve you today. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask, and we will try our best to solve them for you. I hope we can exchange our enthusiasm, patience and care for your peace of mind and happiness. Today, I will take you to visit Wudang Mountain. Let's enjoy the beautiful natural scenery and rich Taoist culture there.
Wudang mountain is located in danjiangkou city, Hubei province. The Danjiangkou Reservoir, facing the rippling blue waves, is backed by the vast Shennongjia forest area for more than 4 kilometers. The scenery here is beautiful, and the four seasons are different: the flowers are blooming in spring, the mountains are verdant in summer, the golden osmanthus is fragrant in autumn, and the snow is white in winter. No matter when we come, we can appreciate its beauty. There is an old saying that "the world is full of famous mountains and buddhas", but Taoism dominates the world in Wudang Mountain. Legend has it that the Jinding of Wudang Mountain was originally occupied by the Infinite Buddha. Later, Emperor Zhenwu cultivated immortality and traveled to this place. He saw that there were many peaks here, and the main peak, Tianzhu Peak, was towering into the clouds, and the surrounding 72 peaks bowed their heads, forming a spectacle of "72 peaks facing the top". Zhenwu Emperor took a fancy to this treasure, so he went to Tianzhu Peak to consult the Infinite Buddha to borrow the land, and proposed to borrow it only in eight steps. The boundless Buddha agreed when he saw that he didn't want much. I didn't expect the Zhenwu Emperor to have boundless magic power. He took eight steps from the top of Tianzhu Peak, one step was 1 miles, and the eight steps actually occupied the whole Wudang, thus winning the right of permanent residence, and Wudang Mountain became the venue of Taoism.
Wudang Taoist temple was built in the Zhenguan period of Tang Dynasty and reached its peak in Yongle period of Ming Dynasty. The buildings here make full use of nature and adopt the unified layout of royal architecture, which embodies the excellent tradition of ancient Chinese architectural art and was listed as a world heritage in 1994, becoming a treasure of the world. Zhu Di, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, highly praised Wudang Taoism, mobilized more than 3, military and civilian craftsmen to build large-scale buildings here, and built 33 large-scale architectural communities in more than ten years according to the story of "Xuantian God" practicing martial arts in Taoism. Since ancient times, the construction line has been from Junzhou to Tianzhu Peak, stretching for 4 Li, covering an area of 1.6 million square meters, and there are more than 2, temples in an tang. He is here to worship the northern god Zhenwu the Great, to protect him, the emperor who rose up and seized the throne in the north. It is said that Zhenwu Emperor's tall figure, round face and wholesale barefoot image were shaped according to the image of Yongle Emperor. Therefore, there is a saying among the people that "the true warrior is the God of Yongle". Wudang Mountain has become a famous Taoist mountain in China, attracting tourists and pilgrims from all over the world to visit and worship everywhere. In addition, it is not only a Taoist incense resort, but also the hometown of wudang boxing. There has always been a saying in China Wulin that "Shaolin is the north and Wudang is the south", and many people are the prophets wudang boxing without knowing Wudang Mountain. According to legend, the founder of wudang boxing is a famous Taoist Zhang Sanfeng, which I think friends who like martial arts may have learned through novels. It is said that when he was practicing here, he saw the scene of cranes fighting with snakes, was inspired, and realized the thirteen forms of Tai Chi, so he was honored as the founder of wu-tang clan.
After all this talk, I think everyone can't wait. Now that we have reached the foot of Wudang Mountain, please get off with your belongings and start our pilgrimage. .....
Now the green glazed tile hall in front of us is the Zixiao Palace. Because the hills around this place naturally form a dragon playing with pearls.
